This puts the artist in charge of what they want to experience in the process of creating a work of modern energy art. Fri, 26 Aug 2016 09:50:00 +0100 https://energyart.uk/sacred_photography.htm https://energyart.uk/sacred_photography.htm What is sacred photography? To answer that question we need to go back a little way, to what happens in a magical photography session between the photographer and their subject.   Mon, 15 Aug 2016 10:08:46 +0100 https://energyart.uk/abstract_art_makes_you_more_intelligent.htm https://energyart.uk/abstract_art_makes_you_more_intelligent.htm It's been said that abstract art "enables the exploration of yet undiscovered inner territories of the viewer’s brain."  Yes ... abstract art is good for your brain. And perhaps even for your mind ... Mon, 02 May 2016 11:22:04 +0100 https://energyart.uk/the_artists_prayer.htm https://energyart.uk/the_artists_prayer.htm I found this article in the archives which describes "The Artist's Prayer" - the artist's contribution to change. This is clearly Art Solutions, not "art therapy as you know it, Jim" where the experience of pain simply gets regurgitated, or the problem/s simply get re-stated, yet again and ad infinitum.  I could talk of this for hours; over to the aspect, 2003.  Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:45:43 +0000 https://energyart.uk/vector_art.htm https://energyart.uk/vector_art.htm Is vector art art ...?

WTF is that supposed to mean, anyway? It is at best a step stone to a more grown up understanding of art in the greater scheme of things, both intrapersonally as well as interpersonally. At worst, it becomes a crazy labyrinth that causes havoc for the individuals and societies who adopt this position.

To make meaningful art, you need passion and an understanding how to translate what you want to share with the world into material objects.  Here is a set of very modern energy art exercises to get you started with your own True Creative Art.

[rant] Right. The basic form is this. Art is a human birthright. Everyone has the right to dance, sing, sculpt, paint, write, carve, cast bronze as badly as they want to. Sat, 02 Nov 2013 10:13:31 +0000 https://energyart.uk/in_love_art.htm https://energyart.uk/in_love_art.htm Now here's an interesting thing. How much do you love your own art? Honestly now. I know we have been entrained, brainwashed, "to be our own worst critic" on the grounds that this will make you into a better person as you berate yourself endlessly, search for all things imperfect and beat yourself up for any little shortcoming. I think that's completely appalling and in fact, a path straight into the abyss of failure - and not just for art, but for life.

There's the pure art, the really meaningful stuff, where you know what you are doing and you're the best you can be as a good, honest artist ... and then folk say, "What the f***k is that? Which way up is it supposed to be? Is that a beansprout or a surfboard?"

The difference between "normal" energy art and Art Solutions is that in Art Solutions, the energy artist "steers" the vision with a question, a query to the energy mind, or a "set up" which may contain many components.
